McLaren's Oscar Piastri gives F1 2027 engine changes warning
- Piastri says the 2027 power unit changes are a step in the right direction, but not a full fix.
- He argues real change requires hardware upgrades beyond the 60:40 ICE to electrical split.
- Piastri notes the 60:40 split could help in qualifying but isn’t a complete solution.
- Piastri says even a 60:40 change won't fix all issues without hardware changes.
- He describes previous engine splits (80:20, 85:15) as near but not perfect for full electrical deployment.
- Piastri expects the extra battery and boost challenges to persist on some circuits.
- He remains hopeful McLaren can win again soon, closing a 14-race winless run.
- Piastri highlights that current performance is still at the top end of the grid.
- The plan to vote on the changes has not yet been officially approved.
- Piastri points to balance challenges of battery state and boost on laps.
- He notes the push for changes comes as he targets a return to the winner's circle.
